It sounds like things are getting better, but still a way off. This hand thing has been going on for a while. It would have been great if the hand was 100% before you had to deal with the knee.
Let's hope that six months from now you are back to yourself.
We had a good time in Florida, but the weather was not as warm as we had expected. We had only a few days above 70 degrees, with many days in the 50s, but still a lot warmer than the single-digit temps here at home.
Sorry for the late reply. A day after getting home we packed our bags and went back to NJ for four days visiting the kids.
Peace, my friend.
